Advisory system for food sector under reform

Evira has launched a project designed to identify the best and most effective channels and methods for providing advice to small and medium-sized businesses in the food sector, and to reform the advisory system based on the identified channels and methods.

The project also includes presentation of examples of good practical solutions and preparation of supporting material for food sector businesses. The supporting material is designed to facilitate

the founding of a company

the recognition of key requirements related to the operation and products of the company

the identification of any specific risks of the operation, as well as risk management

Other forms of project activities include local information events, workshops or training events, development of the advisory activities and sharing of information among the authorities.

Four pilot groups have been set up within the project to identify effective methods for providing advice

sales and serving in connection with primary production, and small-scale processing of plant products

groups of immigrant/ethnic background.
